Super Saiyan God - Blue

Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta looked at Son Goku with a sour expression; in less than a week, Son Goku's combat power had risen once again, now reaching 265 trillion.

Although it was only a five-trillion difference, at their level of power, five trillion was enough to decide the outcome of a fight.

Vegeta's own combat power was only 240 trillion, and having transformed into a Super Saiyan 4 only recently, he still had a gap between being familiar with the form and fully mastering it, despite having gained experience from his battle with Lei Chen.

"Haaah!"

Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta let out a roar and launched a rapid assault on Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku.

Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku immediately took flight toward the sky, knowing that he and Vegeta could easily cause massive destruction to the Lookout with their casual strikes.

"I really didn't expect Vegeta to look so much cooler than Goku when transformed into a Super Saiyan 4!"

Watching Vegeta and Son Goku fly into the sky in their Super Saiyan 4 forms, Bulma couldn't help but laugh.

Chi-Chi overheard Bulma's comment and was naturally displeased by the suggestion that Vegeta was more handsome than Son Goku. She walked up to Bulma and shouted, "My Goku is way more handsome than Vegeta!"

"No, Vegeta is cooler!"

"Goku is cooler!"

And just like that, Bulma and Chi-Chi began to bicker over who was more handsome between Son Goku and Vegeta.

It wasn't until Mr. Satan appeared that the two were separated, though Mr. Satan had the misfortune of taking a punch from both Bulma and Chi-Chi.

Lei Chen watched this premature plot development with a speechless expression. In the original story, Bulma and Chi-Chi only argued over who was better-looking when they were fighting the Evil Dragon, but now, it had happened early.

Lei Chen cast his gaze toward Son Gohan, who was now dozens of times stronger than he had been ten years ago.

Ten years later, Son Gohan had become a famous scholar; with a successful career, he naturally had some time to train, though he had still wasted quite a bit of time. Even so, Son Gohan now possessed a combat power of 3 trillion.

"Gohan!"

Suddenly, Lei Chen called out to him.

"Oh, Mr. Lei Chen, are you calling me?"

Son Gohan turned his head, looking at Lei Chen with a curious expression. He didn't know why Lei Chen had suddenly called out to him.

"Take this!"

Lei Chen tossed a small bag of Senzu Beans toward Son Gohan.

"This... is this?"

Son Gohan looked at Lei Chen with curiosity and surprise. The bag was full, containing nearly fifty beans. He suspected they were Senzu Beans, but he couldn't be sure that Lei Chen would give him so many all at once.

"That's right, they are Senzu Beans. Consider them a gift from me. Prepare one for Vegeta in a moment; he's about to lose."

With that, Lei Chen vanished from the spot using Instant Transmission.

Through his year-long training with Vegeta in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Lei Chen's practical combat experience had improved significantly. Although he still couldn't compare to Vegeta or Son Goku, if he were to face Son Goku again now, he certainly wouldn't be as passive as before, though he would still lose in a life-or-death battle.

Heh, it looks like Vegeta has lost again.

Lei Chen sensed Vegeta's energy dropping rapidly and estimated that he would soon revert from his Super Saiyan 4 transformation.

In this battle between Vegeta and Son Goku, Son Goku had held the upper hand from the start, though the two were arguably evenly matched. However, in the later stages, Vegeta would lose to Son Goku due to a lack of energy.

After all, Son Goku had been holding back the entire time, using only the same level of power as Vegeta. Combined with the fact that Son Goku was more proficient with the Super Saiyan 4 transformation than Vegeta, his victory over him hadn't been too difficult.

If there is one supreme martial art in the Dragon Ball world, it is Ultra Instinct. I should be qualified to practice this divine technique that even gods find difficult to master.

Lei Chen mused to himself. In the story, Son Goku only began practicing the Ultra Instinct taught by the angel Whis after achieving the Super Blue transformation.

Ultra Instinct, as depicted in the story, is different from the traditional way of fighting by sensing ki. It relies on every part of the body to automatically perform conditional reflexes for attack and defense, bypassing the brain to increase reaction and movement speeds. The body and consciousness are separated, allowing every part of the body to sense danger beyond instinct, without the need for the brain to think.

It is a realm passed down among the gods, a burst of potential after breaking one's limits. Even the gods find it difficult to reach the pinnacle; Beerus had undergone relevant training but failed to fully master it.

Ultra Instinct is a realm—a realm belonging to the cultivation of gods. Son Goku's transformation into the "White God" upon mastering Ultra Instinct was not actually a Saiyan transformation, but a divine secret technique.

It can unleash over a hundred times one's own power; the more hidden power one possesses, the more formidable the output.

When Son Goku is not transformed, his Super Saiyan power is completely hidden throughout his body. Once he uses Ultra Instinct, he unleashes a hundred or even several hundred times his Super Saiyan power.

If it were the gods, even if they learned Ultra Instinct, they might not be able to unleash as much power as Son Goku.

Lei Chen closed his eyes, standing above an infinitely vast, deep blue ocean, silently sensing the sea and the power of nature within it.

Lei Chen's energy dropped rapidly, falling from 15 billion to 100 million, and finally to zero.

Suddenly, a divine aura flickered, and a brilliant ocean of starlight erupted from behind Lei Chen.

Lei Chen's appearance changed; his hair and eyebrows turned blue, his pupils glowed with a faint, deep blue light, and his surrounding aura became divine and bright, scattered with stardust-like particles. This aura was incredibly fluid, undulating slowly with bubble-like energy swirling within it.

Lei Chen had not successfully achieved enlightenment of Ultra Instinct, but he had successfully transformed into the Super Saiyan God Blue, which stood above the Super Saiyan God!

"Is this considered a pleasant surprise?"

Lei Chen said with a smile. The power of Super Saiyan God Blue was four times that of the red form (the story only states it is several times stronger than red without specifying, so he set it as four times, similar to the jump from Super Saiyan 2 to 3).

In the Super Saiyan God Blue state, Lei Chen's combat power was 960 trillion, Super Red was 240 trillion, Super Saiyan 3 was 12 trillion, Super Saiyan 2 was 3 trillion, Super Saiyan 1 was 5 trillion, and his base form was 30 billion.

As for the Super Saiyan 4 God, its power was twice that of Super Red, but twice as weak as Super Blue.

The energy of the Super Saiyan God had been upgraded, so Lei Chen naturally could no longer easily fuse the power of the Super God and Super 4 together. It could be said that Lei Chen now had to start cultivating the fusion of these two powers.
